GUA MUSANG, July 23 — The Rural and Regional Development Ministry has approved an allocation of RM200 million for road upgrading projects in several Orang Asli settlements in Kelantan.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the projects would involve the Kuala Betis-Pos Balar and Pos Belatim-Kuala Betis-Pos Bihai areas in Gua Musang. Ahmad Zahid, who is also Rural and Regional Development Minister, said the money would come from existing allocations already approved by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is also Finance Minister.
“KKDW has no intention to ask for additional allocations but if insufficient, I will personally see the prime minister to ask for more. “Not for me but for the welfare of Orang Asli, especially on matters of rural communication,” he said when speaking at the Kelantan state-level “Sentuhan Kasih Desa” programme at Dataran Kesedar Paloh 2 here today. — Bernama
